By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Online thieves and spammers are using the killing of Osama bin Laden to send out malicious software and spam to unwitting Internet users.
In what's become common practice among the Internet's less savory citizens, these scammers are sending out emails and spreading Facebook posts that purport to be videos or photos of the dead bin Laden.
They are not. But by clicking the links, users can download computer viruses that steal personal information or otherwise infect their computers.
Computer security firm Symantec says one spam email contains a link to bogus photos and videos purporting to be from CNN Mexico. Instead, it directs people to a scam site designed to look like the real thing but created to steal passwords. Some Facebook users also fell victim to fake bin Laden links that then spread the links to their friends' pages on the site.
The FBI warned Internet users of the scams Tuesday. On Wednesday, President Barack Obama said he has decided not to release photos of the dead bin Laden because they could incite violence and create national security risks for the U.S.
That didn't stop Internet scammers from spreading fake, doctored photos to lure people into giving away their personal information or downloading the troublesome programs known as "malware."
Symantec senior manager David Cowings said spammers are "pretty opportunistic," using everything from scare tactics to celebrity gossip to pandering to mere raw curiosity to send out their messages. Some of these Internet ruses pre-date the nearly decade-long hunt that culminated in bin Laden's death.
"They'll frequently spoof well-known news organizations to make (the) email more legitimate," just as they did in the case of CNN.
Avoiding scams is best done by practicing "good Internet hygiene," Cowings said. That means avoiding questionable sites by reading their URL, or address, from left to right. Sometimes the first few letters of a site will look legitimate but subsequent ones will raise red flags. Also be suspicious of sites prompting you to install video-viewing software or antivirus protection. Sometimes bad links will be packaged with a prompt to download something, saying your software is not up to date, Cowings said. It's safer to go directly to the website that offers the software.
Common sense is another good tool. Is your staid college professor writing "LOL, check it out!!!" on a Facebook link? If it's not characteristic for a person to write that way, chances are they didn't type it. Having up-to-date security software is also crucial. This can protect your computer from viruses even if clicking on a bad link that attempts to download malware.

Python Programming, news on the Voidspace Python Projects and all things techie.
Linux is Great, I Think
From 6pm Monday until around 9pm yesterday (Tuesday) my server was mainly down. This meant no email and no website.
It is a virtual server provided by Unixshell.com, with the virtualisation done by Xen.
I could restart the server, but it would only last a few minutes before wedging itself thoroughly again.
When I logged in via SSH, I got obscure messages streaming down the screen :

I missed a vital clue buried herewithin and tried all sorts of things. Updates didn't fix it, top showed no rogue processes, chkrootkit came up clean, memory, disk and CPU usage were all normal. I finally spoke to a knowledgeable friend who suggested it wass likely to be a hardware problem, so I tried memtest (which didn't reveal anything) and raised a support ticket.
In the meantime I decided to clear up some stray packages which I'd installed and wasn't really using, especially MySQL which was originally installed for someone else. I spent a while trying to persuade apt-get to list all installed packages, before discovering that the required magic incantation is dpkg -l.
I could see various packages related to MySQL installed, including ones like mysql-common. This sounded like a good place to start, and without properly reading the messages I started the remove. To my horror I watched apt-get faithfully obey my instructions and proceed to uninstall Exim (my mail transfer agent), lighttpd (my webserver), courier (my POP mail server) and more. All of these depended on the MySQL package.
Fearfully I re-installed Exim, courier and lighttpd. Exim and courier were one line commands (apt-get install exim). To reinstall lighttpd (an upgraded version from the one I had before) I think I needed to copy and paste five lines or so from the Lighttpd Install Guide.
Everything worked exactly as it did before, no harm done. phew
Perhaps you've guessed what's coming next. Buried inside the obscure error messages above is Process exim4. It was exim that was causing the problems, and by sheer serendipity uninstalling and reinstalling it fixed the problem.
So the error messages from Debian were very obscure, but uninstalling and reinstalling large packages was impressively and magnaminously straightforward.

Movable Python Preview
I'm working on an updated version of Movable Python. There are a few changes to the way it runs code, but most of the improvements are adding functionality to the GUI. There is probably two or three weeks work ahead to get it all working. Below is a mock up of the new GUI. I will do some usability tests before releasing, but if anyone has any suggestions for improvements on the proposed layouts, they would be appreciated :
In case you can't tell, instead of using pack I'm using the grid geometry manager to layout the GUI. It makes life so much easier, and is very simple to use. Also on the list for the future is integrating Tile so that Movable Python can acquire a native look and feel.
Oh and I added a picture of Mutex the Build Cat to a previous post.

This isn't the sort of post I normally make here, but you programmers are a wise and eclectic bunch; so I thought I might get a useful answer.
How do you tell when an avocado is ripe or nearly ripe ? Whenever we buy them it seems like a complete lottery as to which ripen quickly (and are gorgeous) and which remain forever hard. Ones that seem virtually identical in the shop, in terms of appearance and hardness, will turn out to be radically different when we come to eat them. Any of you got any hints or clues ?

Python & the Static Typing Debate
At work I spent some time with a colleague integrating PyLint into our build process. For the packages we completed work on (fixing the warnings), it now breaks the build to check in code with unused imports, unused variables or using undefined names.
It occurs to me that one [1] of the arguments against dynamic languages like Python, is that the compile phase will catch certain kinds of errors.
By integrating PyLint into our development process, we are now catching a lot of these errors (like typos for example, using undefined names because you've misspelt the variable [2]). You can also configure PyLint to require all instance attributes to be initialised in the __init__ method. This is reminiscent of requiring you to declare your variables, but would catch you misspelling attribute names.
The other big sort of error that compilers catch (by enforcing rigid typing), is type errors. If your function returns a float and you treat it as a string, your program won't compile. In Python this will compile, but blow up at runtime.
It occurs to me that over the years, particularly recent years, there has been a lot of research into Python and typing. This has resulted in a dramatic absence of any type analysis tools useful to the programmer.
Relevant projects include :
A static type inferencer for Python. Never released.
Localized Type Inferencing for Python
A thesis by Brett Cannon which concluded that static type inferencing for Python wouldn't offer significant speed advantages.
Type annotation is a crucial part of compiling RPython programs, in PyPy.
A slightly dated paper by John Aycock, explaining his experiments with a Python to Perl translator. (Where Perl needs type specifiers on variables.)
In fact I believe that part of Brett Cannon's thesis involved running an analysis tool over the whole of the standard library. It was able to pick up blatant type errors in code. (Of which there were very few.)
It looks like type inferencers aren't able to provide a speed improvement without modifying the way Python works. For example, you can change the type of any variable from outside the module it is used in. (module.foo = bar.) However, analysis tools that can find obvious errors, and provide warnings about probable errors, may be a useful check in production environments. They would also remove a possible barrier for entry amongst those who like type safety as a precaution.
It seems a shame that so much work has been done by clever people, yet has resulted in little that is actually usable by programmers [3].
[1] | Another argument is that static typing makes it possible to write faster code. |
[2] | Actually our test code would almost certainly pick this up, the other checks are more useful for us. We will also be enabling more checks as we go. |
[3] | PyPy is an exception, hopefully type annotation of RPython will be very useful soon; but it possibly has an even broader application. |

Movpy, Tkinter & Icons
I've finally got around to working on Movable Python.
I'm making fairly drastic changes, both in appearance and in extending its capabilities.
Some of the changes involve adding icons to buttons to improve the appearance of the GUI, which will hopefully do more whilst looking less cluttered.
I found several good sets of free program icons. There are some good image collections on the Maxpower List. In the end I have used a set of application and website images provided by glyFX.
The license for use states the icons must be compiled into the program rather than redistributed. I would probably have done this anyway.
I've stuck with Tkinter for the GUI, because it minimizes the dependencies for a minimal distribution (although wxPython is included with Movable Python). Having recently worked with both wxPython and Windows Forms, I actually find Tkinter less intuitive to use these days. It's not exactly difficult though.
I've found the script img2pytk.py, from 3D Artist Tkinter Notes, very helpful in converting GIF images into base64 strings for including as program data. The output isn't ideal, but it doesn't require more than a little editing.

Python Just Keeps Racing
It seems like every few days there is fresh and interesting news. Python is alive and healthy, despite the competition from younger languages like ruby.
Another hot from the oven release from the PyPy crew. It is several times faster than the last release, and now stable enough to run the full Python test suite to the end.
Using a tool called ext-compiler it is possible to write extension modules compatible with both CPython and PyPy.
It looks like they are finally getting to the point where they can implement the JIT compiler for PyPy. This is where they expect to make the real speed benefits.
Restricted Execution for Python
In the dim and distant past a module called rexec (now deprecated), provided a restricted execution model for Python. This meant that you could sandbox a Python interpreter and run untrusted code.
Unfortunately there proved to be just too many holes to patch and the rexec withered. This means that Python is unsuitable for using as a scripting language in browsers, and many other situations where restricted execution is needed.
Brett Cannon has just announced that as part of his dissertation for getting Python into Firefox (to replace Javascript), he has created a design doc for restricted execution.
If it works out he is looking to get this into Python 2.6. There are many places where this sandboxing is needed if Python is to be used, so it is a very welcome development.
A conspicuously missing feature from the Python language is the switch and case construction, common in many other languages.
We seem to have got on fine without it so far, using dictionaries of functions or if/elif/else... chains to do the same job.
case and switch can be easier to read, as well as offering possible compiler optimisations, where all the case statements only need to be evaluated once. There are several modules in the Python library that could benefit from this.
However the issues in implementing this (and indeed deciding a syntax) turn out to be more mind-bending than you could imagine.
If you can follow the debate in this thread on Python-Dev, you're a better man than I. It looks like Guido is coming down in favour of something like this.
- So we may gain a new static keyword (which only does anything inside a function body and is evaluated at function definition time).
- All case expressions in a switch have an implied static.
- A switch is implemented using a dict which is precomputed at the same time its static expressions are precomputed. The switch expression must be hashable.
This sounds a bit convoluted to me, and adds new potential confusions about evaluation times. However it does add a flexible construct to the language, and allows for optimisations which are always welcomed.
You can get more information from Fredrik Lundh's micro-PEPs on Switch & Static Expressions.
From the sig on the PyPy announcement :
I can't see a conspicuous evolutionary advantage in being good at higher mathematics.

Welcome to Spell Cabinet
This spell should be used only after you have submitted your resume or application.
With a pin or sharp knife, write the name of the company(s) you want to work for on the side of a large green candle. On a red candle, you need to carve the victory rune (Tiwaz, it looks like an arrow, pointing up) and your full name. Burn both candles for 30 minutes on Thursday after the sun sets, while visualizing yourself getting the kind of job you want. At the end of the 30 minutes, snuff the candles (do not blow them out).
Burn them each Thursday after that for 15 minutes until they burn out, or until you get the job.
Dispose of the candles and leave a small bowl of milk outside overnight as an offering.

Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer Dances in Locker Room After Military Bowl Win
The Virginia Tech Hokies got a 33-17 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Military Bowl on Saturday, and head coach Frank Beamer was pumped up after the game.
While celebrating the win in the locker room, the 68-year-old head coach started to get down with all of his players huddled around him. The dance moves were a bit questionable, but Beamer gets a pass since his team played so well.

Military Bowl 2014: Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech Game Grades and Analysis
The Virginia Tech Hokies defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats, 33-17, in the Military Bowl on Saturday. It's Tech's second bowl victory over Cincinnati in the last six years, as Tech beat Cincinnati in the 2008-09 Orange Bowl.
The Hokies relied on a strong performance by their special teams, defense and running game. Tech forced three turnovers, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Freshman kicker Joey Slye hit all four field-goal attempts, including attempts from 45 and 49 yards.
Junior running back J.C. Coleman led Tech's rushing attack with 157 yards on 25 carries, his fourth straight game of at least 90 yards or more.
Head coach Frank Beamer watched this one from the press box, while son Shane coached the team from the sideline. It was only the second time in Beamer's 28 years as head coach of the Hokies where he's been forced to coach from the box.
Here are the grades and analysis from both Virginia Tech and Cincinnati in the Hokies' Military Bowl victory.
Cincinnati Game Grades Analysis:
Pass Offense: Gunner Kiel was terrific, even with two interceptions. His absence changed things in the second half. Michael Colosimo gave them a spark late, but it wasn't enough.
Run Offense: Colosimo led the team in rushing, mainly because the score forced Cincy to pass the ball, and Tech's defenders were dropped deep, leaving open running lanes for Cincy's passer in the second half.
Pass Defense: Tech passed for just 124 yards. The Bearcats were strong in coverage and pressured Michael Brewer the entire game.
Run Defense: Cincinnati allowed 200 yards rushing to a team ranked No. 91 in rushing entering the game. That's unacceptable, especially with Tech being one-dimensional.
Special Teams: The Bearcats missed an early field goal and gave up a big return at the end of the half that led to points for the Hokies.
Coaching: Tommy Tuberville inexplicably brought Colosimo in on obvious passing situations in the second half. He would use Shaq Washington or Mike Boone as the Wildcat QB. It led to two wasted possessions as Colosimo proved he could throw the ball.
Virginia Tech Game Grades Analysis:
Pass Offense: Brewer wasn't great. However, he played with toughness and made a couple of very good throws under pressure. His first-half interception cost the Hokies points.
Run Offense: JC Coleman was terrific. He had several longer runs and also proved he could pound it between the tackles for tough yards.
Pass Defense: The Hokies gave up several big plays in the passing game, especially in the first half. The Hokies did record two interceptions and forced a Kiel fumble that led to a touchdown.
Run Defense: The numbers indicate Tech gave up 160 yards on the ground. That's deceiving. Colosimo ran for 54 yards in the fourth quarter with Tech playing with six defensive backs. Cincy struggled to run the ball when the game was close.
Special Teams: Beamerball returned, it appeared, on Saturday. Slye was 4-of-4 on field goals, and Der'Woun Greene gave the return game a lift. Special teams was responsible for the majority of VT's points.
Coaching: Frank Beamer will get the win on his coaching record. However, his son, Shane, did an outstanding job preparing the Hokies. Tech looked strong in all phases, specifically on special teams, in the win over Cincinnati.

Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech: Score and Twitter Reaction for 2014 Military Bowl
Virginia Tech ended an up-and-down 2014 season on a high note Saturday, as the Hokies defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats 33-17 in the Military Bowl at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland.
The game was tightly contested throughout the first half, but Cincinnati struggled to keep up in the second, especially after star sophomore quarterback Gunner Kiel left with an injury in the third quarter.
One can only assume that Virginia Tech had a bit of extra motivation entering the game, as head coach Frank Beamer recovered from throat surgery in time to coach from the press box, according to Nathan Warters of The Free Lance-Star:
His son, Shane Beamer, essentially acted as the head coach on the sidelines, but junior defensive tackle Corey Marshall made it clear before the game that Frank Beamer had prepared the team to succeed even without being on the field, per Tom Schad of The Washington Times:
"[Coach Beamer's] left a good imprint on this football team," Marshall said. "We know how to conduct ourselves even if he's not steering the ship, until he gets back right. … We'll go out here and take care of business for him."
Marshall proved prophetic, as the Hokies played hard and were especially strong in the game's latter stages.
Cincinnati was able to move the ball quite smoothly throughout the first half due to the play of Kiel. Unfortunately for the Bearcats, though, they struggled to finish their drives.
After kicker Andrew Gantz missed a 51-yard field goal on Cincinnati's opening possession, its next one ended with Kiel throwing an interception in the end zone. He was picked off by sophomore cornerback Kendall Fuller.
Fuller impressively went up and wrestled the ball away from the Cincinnati receiver in midair. Hokies Journal speculated that he may have tricked Kiel into throwing in his direction:
The Hokies were unable to capitalize on that turnover, however, as junior quarterback Michael Brewer threw an interception of his own just three plays later.
According to Jacob Emert of TechSideline.com, Brewer was totally to blame for the pick, as he made things simple for sophomore safety Zach Edwards:
That would prove to be a costly miscue, as the Bearcats finally managed to cash in on the ensuing drive. Kiel completed three passes of 20 or more yards, including a 31-yard scoring strike to junior wide receiver Chris Moore, to put Cincinnati on top 7-0.
Per Bearcats Football on Twitter, that touchdown was Kiel's 31st through the air in 2014, which tied a school record:
That lead was short-lived, though. It took Virginia Tech less than two minutes to answer with a touchdown of its own. A roughing the passer call helped the Hokies get into Cincinnati territory, while a bit of trickery set up the eventual score.
Freshman wide receiver Isaiah Ford took a reverse, only to stop and throw a beautiful pass back to the quarterback for 30 yards. According to Warters, it was heralded as a spectacular toss on the telecast:
Junior running back J.C. Coleman ground his way to paydirt from a yard out just three plays later to make it 7-7.
After a pair of subsequent Cincinnati drives stalled, Kiel was intercepted for a second time in the closing seconds of the first quarter. This time, it was sophomore cornerback Chuck Clark who made an athletic, one-handed pick.
Per Mitch Carr of 8News WRIC, Clark may have saved a big play in the other direction with his circus catch:
The Hokies took advantage of field position in Cincinnati territory, and freshman kicker Joey Slye hit a season-long 45-yard field goal to put the Hokies back in control 10-7.
After getting the ball back with just under seven minutes remaining in the half, Kiel orchestrated another strong drive for the Bearcats. Cincinnati ate up six minutes and 23 seconds, and although it couldn't find the end zone, Gantz tied the game back up with a 25-yard field goal.
Most probably assumed that the score would be even at halftime, but sophomore running back Der'Woun Greene had other ideas for the Hokies when he returned the kickoff 46 yards to midfield.
A 17-yard pass from Brewer to Ford put Virginia Tech in field-goal range, and it once again put points on the board, as Slye bettered his previous career long with a 49-yard make at the gun.
Virginia Tech took a 13-10 lead into the locker room despite the fact that Cincinnati dominated the half statistically, according to Mike Barber of The Richmond Times-Dispatch:
The Hokies clearly picked up some momentum from that late score, and they carried it over to the second half. Their first drive started with six straight runs, which got them all the way down to the Cincinnati 16.
Virginia Tech eventually found the end zone when Brewer tossed a one-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end Ryan Malleck, which made the score 20-10.
There was definite pressure on the Bearcats to make something happen after that score. And the Hokies continued to pour it on.
Kiel was sacked by junior linebacker Deon Clarke on the next drive, which caused a fumble. Big defensive tackle Nigel Williams scooped it up before fumbling in his own right, but Hokies cornerback Greg Stroman finished the play by recovering it and scoring a touchdown.
After Virginia Tech went up 27-10 on that play, injury was added to insult. Kiel was shaken up and had to be taken back to the locker room, per ESPN's Tom Gelehrter:
According to the ESPN telecast, Kiel suffered a head injury on the play, and he did not ultimately return.
With backup Munchie Legaux also injured, the Bearcats turned to No. 2 receiver and former high school quarterback Shaq Washington under center.
He surprisingly came out firing with a 31-yard completion to junior wide receiver Mekale McKay, but Cincinnati couldn't score on the drive.
After Slye added yet another field goal to put Virginia Tech up 30-10 with just over 13 minutes remaining in the game, the Bearcats were forced to abandon the Wildcat concept and turn to senior third-string quarterback Michael Colosimo.
As pointed out by Norm Wood of The Daily Press, Colosimo had very little game experience prior to Saturday's game, despite being a senior:
There wasn't much expected of the walk-on quarterback and former baseball player, but Colosimo made some plays to get Cincinnati back in the game.
With an excellent 43-yard throw to Moore for the first passing touchdown of his career, Colosimo pulled the Bearcats to within 13 points of the Hokies with less than 11 minutes left in the game.
Cincinnati attempted a somewhat surprising onside kick immediately after, but it didn't work, as the ball went out of bounds.
That allowed the Hokies to add another field goal with just under nine minutes left, which meant the Bearcats faced a 16-point deficit.
Cincinnati had a chance to make things interesting, but it couldn't make anything happen, and Virginia Tech went on to win 33-17.
Saturday marked Virginia Tech's 22nd consecutive season with a bowl appearance, and while the Hokies went just 6-6 during the regular season, the Military Bowl win helped them improve to 7-6.
That means that Virginia Tech also now has 22 straight winning seasons, all of which have come under the watch of Beamer. This may not have been an ideal year for the Hokies, but a Military Bowl win and an upset of Ohio State earlier in the season are great building blocks.
The Bearcats had a chance to win 10 games for the third time in four years, but Tommy Tuberville's team fell just short of that goal.
Losing Kiel certainly hurt its chances Saturday, but Cincinnati's future is bright with such a fine young signal-caller in place.

Bowl Picks 2014-15: Predictions for Every Remaining Postseason Game
The 2014-15 college football bowl season has already featured several exciting matchups, but the best is very likely yet to come.
In addition to the College Football Playoff games and other bowls featuring highly ranked teams, there are plenty of other less-heralded bowls that have the potential to be extremely entertaining as well.
While not every bowl has a ton riding on it, there is no question that every team involved wants to end the season on a high note.
Here is a full slate of picks for every remaining bowl game, along with a closer look at some of the most intriguing, under-the-radar bowls.
Picks for Under-the-Radar Bowls
AutoZone Liberty Bowl: West Virginia vs. Texas A&M
The AutoZone Liberty Bowl will feature two 7-5 teams that looked elite at times during the 2014 regular season. Both West Virginia and Texas A&M scored some high-profile wins, and it will be interesting to see how they fare in a head-to-head situation.
The Mountaineers were the only team to beat Baylor, thus costing it a CFP spot. WVU also lost to Alabama by just 10 points and fell to TCU by one, so there is no question that it can hang with the big boys.
Although the Aggies faded after a 5-0 start, they managed to end Auburn's CFP hopes with an upset victory.
Most would have figured early in the season that this game would feature a quarterback battle between Clint Trickett and Kenny Hill. While Hill was replaced by freshman Kyle Allen several games ago, Trickett has been injured.
In fact, the senior intends to retire from football due to concussion issues, according to SportsCenter:
Stepping away has to be a difficult decision for Trickett, but he has a positive outlook regarding his final season of football, per ESPN.com's Jake Trotter.
"I would love to be out there and finish the season with my guys [for] my last game," Trickett said. "It's unfortunate how it ended, but I had a great senior year."
While the sample size is small, sophomore signal-caller Skyler Howard has been great in place of Trickett. He threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Iowa State, so he should be ready to step up.
He also has a pair of elite wide receivers to throw to in the form of Kevin White and Mario Alford, so there is plenty to like about the Mountaineers' chances in this game.
The Aggies can be potent in their own right, but West Virginia will simply have a little too much offensive punch.
Foster Farms Bowl: Maryland vs. Stanford
The 2014 season was likely a disappointing one for Stanford, as it has grown accustomed to being in contention for national titles, but it has a chance to end on a high note by beating Maryland in the Foster Farms Bowl.
On the heels of victories over California and UCLA, the Cardinal will enter the bowl with momentum on their side. The Terrapins, on the other hand, have been a model of inconsistency by trading wins and losses through their past eight games.
Perhaps Stanford's greatest advantage is the fact that the Foster Farms Bowl will take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, according to Pac-12 Networks:
That means it will essentially be a home game that will undoubtedly feature plenty of Cardinal fans in the stands. At the same time, though, Stanford head coach David Shaw doesn't believe his team will have an advantage, per Stanford play-by-play announcer Scott Reiss:
The biggest key to Stanford's success in this game may be the play of senior quarterback Kevin Hogan. Nobody is ever quite sure how Hogan will perform from one game to the next, but he is coming off a contest that saw him complete 84 percent of his passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns.
He may not be that efficient, but he should be able to move the ball against a Maryland defense that allows 29 points per game.
Conversely, the Cardinal defense ranks No. 2 in the nation at 16 points allowed per contest. With such a strong defense and a game close to home, Stanford should find a way to come out on top.
TicketCity Cactus Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. Washington
It took a virtual miracle for Oklahoma State to make itself bowl eligible, and now that the Cowboys have put themselves in that position, they have a legitimate chance to score a bowl victory.
The Pokes will meet 8-5 Washington in a game that may favor the Huskies on paper—although OK State is still flying high after upsetting Oklahoma in Bedlam to end the regular season.
Oklahoma State has also received a late-season spark from freshman quarterback Mason Rudolph. He is averaging over 270 yards and two touchdowns per game in a pair of starts, and he didn't look overmatched in the least as he led the Cowboys past the Sooners.
Rudolph's rapid emergence has been quite surprising, especially since he hasn't necessarily shown a ton of promise in practice, according to Tim Ahrens of OColly.com:
The Huskies have a young quarterback in their own right in sophomore Cyler Miles, who has started for most of the year. Miles has 16 touchdowns and just three interceptions, but even he has admitted that this has been a trying season for him, per Adam Jude of The Seattle Times.
"It's been a hard time this year, personally," Miles said. "I don't want to give you the sob story, but I thank God and I thank my teammates."
Miles has played much better down the stretch, so the TicketCity Cactus Bowl should feature an intriguing matchup between two up-and-coming gunslingers.
It could conceivably go either way, but Rudolph is performing so well that the Cowboys should have a slight upper hand in this one.

Louisville's Chris Jones Blatantly Flops vs. Kentucky
The Louisville Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcats were playing in a very tough Top Five matchup on Saturday, and the two teams were trying to do whatever it took to gain an edge.
Unfortunately, flopping was also used.
In the second half, Louisville's Chris Jones blatantly flopped while trying to guard Kentucky's Dakari Johnson. ESPN's Jay Bilas was not pleased with Jones' decision.

Miami Football: 10 Best Highlights of Duke Johnson's Career
According to Matt Porter of the Palm Beach Post, Miami Hurricanes running back Duke Johnson has declared for the 2015 NFL Draft.
Johnson leaves behind an outstanding legacy in Coral Gables, beginning with his commitment to the 'Canes as a junior in high school. He verbally pledged to Al Golden and Co. exactly 500 days before he could officially sign but never wavered or fell victim to recruiting games.
Once in the orange and green, Duke punished opposing teams for more than 5,000 all-purpose yards, exploiting open space as a runner, receiver and kick returner.
He created many memorable plays, but 10 performances stand out above the rest. The highlights are organized chronologically.
Rose Bowl Showdown Is Program-Defining Game for Oregon Ducks
Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State and…Oregon? The College Football Playoff is like three blue bloods and two yellow shoes.
Nationally, when people think about Oregon, they think about fast pace, gimmicky plays, wild uniforms, highlighter yellow socks and shoes, Nike money, outrageously posh facilities and a lot of wins out there in a far corner of the country, where games finish too late for the rest of the country to watch.
But for all those wins, Oregon doesn't have the blue-blood status of those other three schools—the history of national titles and iconic coaches, the automatic SportsCenter leads most weeks, the relevance even when the team's not in the Top 10 nationally. The Ducks aren't in that club yet. But they're close.
That's why Oregon needs this Rose Bowl on Thursday against Florida State. In fact, this whole College Football Playoff means so much more to them than it does to the other teams.
For one great, defining moment—re-defining, really—Oregon needs to beat a traditional power and win a national title. Then the Ducks will finally have arrived among the national elite. For all they have done over the past several years—the comeback win over Michigan State, a Heisman trophy, etc.—they still do not have a signature win.
As every high school kid knows, it takes forever to overcome your history, erase your big mistake, change your identity.
"Somebody asked me yesterday what it's like to be with the blue bloods," Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens told CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd at the Heisman Trophy ceremony where Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota won. "We're very proud to be competing with the blue bloods. Someday maybe we'll be a blue blood."
It's just so hard to gain admittance to the club. We've seen worst-to-first teams in the pros, but they have drafts to help even things out. At this point, Oregon is a regional power, though it has pushed into the national mainstream with a Heisman and a coach who successfully jumped to the NFL. But the door into the club of college football elites usually only goes one way:
Just ask Nebraska. And the gatekeepers have been thinking about throwing out Michigan, too, unless they really can get Jim Harbaugh to leave the NFL. There hasn't been a first-time national championship winner since Florida won it in 1996. Of the titles won since then, three went to Alabama, two to Florida State and one to Ohio State.
What's different about Oregon football—and this is just my opinion from time spent there—is that while its fans want to win, not everyone there exactly wants the Ducks to be in the club. Eugene is still a hippie town in an area made up of folksy villages. The sports legend is a track hero, Steve Prefontaine. Oregon is sort of a family experience. And if the national college scene sees Oregon as an interloper, the people of Oregon see the national scene as the interloper on them.
Oregon has spent decades climbing the stepladder. Rich Brooks brought the Ducks out of the Toilet Bowl era and then Mike Belotti made them a fixture in bowl games. Then Chip Kelly, an outsider from New Hampshire, took Oregon up another level, and the fans were already a little uneasy about it.
Kelly took the Ducks to four straight BCS bowl games, though. Their bowl wins weren't over blue bloods, but over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl and Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl. When the Ducks played Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, it was an ugly loss.
They got so close four years ago, reaching the BCS title game and losing to Auburn 22-19. But that looks closer in history books than it did in real time. Back then, Oregon was the gimmicky team running a goofy offense. In the title game, the Ducks faked a punt and ran fake-reverses. They also had those ridiculous bright yellow socks and shoes.
It just did not give the Ducks the look of a real powerhouse, especially in contrast to Auburn, which physically bullied Oregon.
History just takes so long to overcome. For Oregon, that means Nov. 19, 1983—the Toilet Bowl. On a horrible, rainy day, water was pouring down the aisles onto the field, making deep puddles on the sidelines. And on the middle of the field, one of the worst-played games ever took place.
Oregon 0, Oregon State 0. That was the final. There were 11 turnovers and four missed field goals. The coaches in the press box, because of the fog forming on the windows, had to open those windows and sit there while rain hit them sideways. In the final three minutes, the teams combined for three interceptions and a fumble.
That was a long time ago, but it's still stuck in the memories of longtime Oregon football fans, who also need a defining win to replace that game. For all the success the Ducks have had, there is still residue from back then that leads to doubts today.
Mark Helfrich, in his second year after replacing Kelly, is a local boy in Oregon. Last year, he told me that when he was a boy, he'd be out in the gravel parking lots at Oregon football games, playing pickup games with his friends. So he has that Oregon-family feel.
But in Helfrich's first year, Oregon lost to Stanford and broke its run of BCS bowl games. And when Oregon lost to Arizona this year, even the locals were wondering if the local boy was in over his head.
Those doubts were the residue of the Toilet Bowl, to paint an ugly picture. So now Oregon has its chance. Even one win—over Florida State—will go a long way. Two wins over the blue bloods would change everything.
Those victories would put Oregon in the club, and its past? It would be flushed away.

Pinstripe Bowl 2014: Live Score, Highlights for Boston College vs. Penn State
The Boston College Eagles (7-5) take on the Penn State Nittany Lions (6-6) in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York City at 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Boston College has a chance to improve its win-loss record for the third-straight year under second-year head coach Steve Addazio, who led the Eagles to a 7-6 overall record in 2013.
Meanwhile, Penn State finished the season with a .500 record under first-year head coach James Franklin. The Nittany Lions entered the 2014 season under a bowl ban due to NCAA sanctions, but the ban was lifted in September, making the team eligible for postseason play.
Penn State boasts one of the nation's top scoring defenses, as their 17.7 points allowed per game rank No. 7 out of all FBS teams. However, the Nittany Lions offense—particularly their rushing attack—ranks almost dead last.
Boston College boast a strong defense of its own, ranking No. 19 in scoring defense, while its offense heavily favors the running game, which ranks No. 14 in the country.
This game sets up to a low-scoring affair, but can the Eagles' strong rushing attack give them the edge over the Nittany Lions' stout defensive line?
Stay tuned right here for live updates and analysis as we head to kickoff.

Military Bowl: Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech Live Score and Highlights
The Virginia Tech Hokies (6-6) meet the Cincinnati Bearcats (9-3) Saturday in the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Md. The game will be played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
The Bearcats, winners of seven in a row and co-champions of the American Athletic Conference, are led by freshman quarterback Gunner Kiel. Kiel completed 60 percent of his passes and tossed 30 touchdowns in leading Cincinnati's high-scoring offense.
The Hokies arrived to this point a bit differently. At 5-6 entering the season finale against in-state rival Virginia, Tech needed a win just to become bowl eligible. The Hokies won and are appearing in their 22nd consecutive bowl, the second-longest current streak behind Florida State.
The Hokies struggle on offense but do have some playmakers in Bucky Hodges and Isaiah Ford. As usual, Virginia Tech is led by a stingy defense that will provide Kiel his biggest test yet.
You can watch the game live on ESPN at 1 p.m. ET, but make sure to stay right here with us for live scoring updates, analysis and the best postgame coverage around.

A Blast from the Past: Barry and the Badgers Face Auburn in the Capital One Bowl
The date was January 2, 2006. It was a Monday. The 9-3 Wisconsin Badgers were taking on the 9-2 Auburn Tigers at the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Florida.
This game would also be the last game Barry Alvarez would ever lead the Badgers into battle as head coach. Or so he thought.
I was there, among the 57,221 fans in attendance at the Florida Citrus Bowl.
Up until that point, Alvarez and the Badgers were 7-3 in bowl games, which included three wins in the Rose Bowl. The only losses Alvarez and the Badgers had suffered were at the hands of SEC teams.
They had lost twice to Georgia in the Outback Bowl and once to these same Tigers at the Music City Bowl three years earlier.
Overall, Alvarez had changed the football culture in Madison, Wisconsin, helping make the program one of the better ones in the country.
Before Alvarez arrived in Madison, the team had gone 6-27 under head coach Don Morton from 1987 to 1989.
The attendance at the games at Camp Randall Stadium had been dwindling as well. In fact, the last home game played under Morton in 1989 against Michigan State drew only 29,776 fans.
Kevin Cosgrove was on the inaugural coaching staff put together by Alvarez. In fact, Cosgrove was with Alvarez longer (1990 to 2003) than any other assistant coach who ever coached under him at Wisconsin.
I had a chance a while back to chat with Cosgrove, who is now the defensive coordinator at New Mexico, about what it was like when Barry took over in 1990.
"As with everything Barry always did, he had a plan," said Cosgrove. "When he got that job, he pretty much knew who he was going to hire. Barry put together a strong staff, and then the first couple of years he fine-tuned it and turned it into a great staff."
Cosgrove also talked about the attendance issues.
"Attendance was down. Interest in the Badgers was nil," Cosgrove said. "I think the Badgers averaged 30,000 fans per game the year before we got there. But we gradually pumped it up until it became sellout after sellout."
Alvarez and his staff certainly turned around the football program. In just his fourth year at Wisconsin, the Badgers went 10-1-1, shared the Big Ten title and won the Rose Bowl.
Overall, Alvarez and his Badgers were 118-73-4 in his time as head coach. Included in that were three Big Ten titles and three victories at the Rose Bowl.
That tenure was supposed to end on that early January day in 2006.
Barry had the Badgers ready to play as they dominated the game versus the Tigers. The Badgers led 17-0 at halftime.
The Badgers were led by running back Brian Calhoun, who rushed for 213 yards in the game. Quarterback John Stocco also threw for 310 yards against the seventh-ranked Tigers.
When it was all said and done, the Badgers won 24-10. The score made the game appear closer than it really was. Wisconsin had 548 total yards while holding Auburn to just 236 total yards.
After the game, Alvarez was quite pleased, as one would imagine. He was most happy about the legacy he had created at Wisconsin.
"The main thing I'm most proud of is that we brought pride back to our fans for our football program," Alvarez said.
That day was supposed to be the last time Alvarez was going to be the head coach of the Badgers. He had turned over the reins to Bret Bielema after the game in order to concentrate on his job as athletic director at Wisconsin.
Bielema went 68-24 in his seven years at Wisconsin and also won three Big Ten titles. He shocked everyone shortly after the Badgers had thumped Nebraska 70-31 in the 2012 Big Ten Championship Game by taking the head coaching job at Arkansas.
This was before the Badgers were about to play in their third straight Rose Bowl versus Stanford. The seniors on the team asked Alvarez to coach the team, and he obliged.
The result? The Badgers played hard but lost 20-14 to a good Cardinal team.
After Bielema left, Alvarez hired Gary Andersen to be his replacement. Andersen went 19-7 as head coach of the Badgers, which included winning the Big Ten West Division title this year before getting whipped 59-0 by Ohio State in the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game.
Now two years later, it's like deja vu. Why? Andersen also decided to leave shortly after the game to become the head coach at Oregon State.
Even though Alvarez has secured Andersen's replacement by hiring Paul Chryst to become the new head coach, Alvarez will once again lead the Badgers as interim head coach in the 2015 Outback Bowl against the same team he coached against in the 2006 Capital One Bowl, the Auburn Tigers.
The game will be the 10th bowl game the Badgers have played in Florida and the fifth they have played in Tampa. Overall, the Badgers are 4-5 in the nine previous bowl games they have played in Florida and 1-3 in the Hall of Fame/Outback Bowl in Tampa.
I've been to many of the bowl games that the Badgers have played at Florida and was at the first bowl game they played in the Sunshine State at Tampa Stadium, when it was called the Hall of Fame Bowl. The Badgers played the Duke Blue Devils in that 1995 contest.
Because of my friendship with Cosgrove (we were buddies in college), I was able to see the Badgers work out at Tampa Stadium in practice a day before the game.
A couple of friends and I also sat next to the coaches' wives as Wisconsin beat Duke 34-20.
That was the first game in which Cosgrove was the defensive coordinator for the Badgers. He replaced Dan McCarney, who left to become head coach at Iowa State.
Cosgrove stayed on as defensive coordinator until 2003. He was a part of the 1998 and 1999 Wisconsin teams that won back-to-back Big Ten titles and the Rose Bowl.
In 1998, the Badgers were ranked fourth in the nation in total defense and first in scoring defense. In 1999, they were ranked 15th in the country in total defense and fifth in scoring defense.
After the game, my fondest memory was being at the team hotel (Westin Tampa Harbour Island) and smoking a victory cigar with a number of the coaches (including Alvarez and Cosgrove) overlooking the Hillsborough River from the balcony.
I'll be going to the 2015 Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium with my son Andrew to watch Alvarez and the Badgers once again. If the outcome is anything like the game I saw in Orlando nine years ago when Alvarez and Wisconsin faced Auburn, Badger Nation will be quite happy.
The game also gives Alvarez a chance to leave the field as a winner in his last game as head coach. He thought he did that in 2006 when the Badgers beat Auburn in the Capital One Bowl. But that changed when he coached the Badgers in the 2013 Rose Bowl when Wisconsin lost to Stanford.
Now he gets a second chance to leave the field as a winner as interim head coach. I like his chances. And I'll be there to witness it.

Last week we reported that Carey Mulligan (The Great Gatsby) was the frontrunner for the Hillary Clinton biopic, Rodham. Now it appears that Mulligan is going to pass on the opportunity, saying she's "not prepared to commit to the role at this time." This may come as good news for one of the other actors reportedly being sought for the role, such as Jessica Chastain, Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon, and Amanda Seyfried. The James Ponsoldt-directed film focuses on Clinton as a young lawyer on the President Richard Nixon impeachment committee, and her attempts to balance her career path with her unresolved feelings for future President, Bill Clinton. THR also reports that the filmmakers are renewing the search for their lead.

Makapu'u Beach Park
41-95 Kalanianaole Highway, Waimānalo, Hawaii 96795. This is very near "Sea Life Park" and "Sandy Beach".
Where is Makapu'u Beach Park?
Makapu'u is located at the furthest point east on Oahu, Hawaii. Just past Sandy Beach going counterclockwise around O'ahu island on Kalanianaole Highway (State Route 72). The Makapu'u trail leading to the lighthouse is just before Makapu'u Beach, also on the right. GPS Coordinates:
Hawaiian History – Makapu'u The Hawaiian Legend
Ancient Hawaiian legend tells of Makapu'u being a god that arrived from Tahiti to live at Makapu'u point in a cave named, Keanaokeakuapōloli. Now the point of Makapu'u has been named after her. Makapu'u had 8 bright eyes, and so the locals called her that which in Hawaiian means "bulging eye". Perhaps coincidence, or maybe not, another very bright eye – the lens in the lighthouse at Makapu'u was set in place and turned on for the first time on the tenth of October, 1909.
What is Makapu'u Beach All About?
Makapu'u has about 500 feet of sand and has "God-given Surf." This is one of my all-time ultimate favorite beaches in the Hawaiian islands. I first learned to bodyboard (boogie-board) here in 1985 with some friends. I had a cheap board, cheap fins, and I was learning how to ride 3-4 foot (Hawaiian scale) waves. I had absolutely the best time of my life. Makapu'u is an almost hidden beach as you drive from Waikiki northeast counter clockwise around Oahu. You'll drive past Hanauma Bay and Sandy Beach and start climbing a hill. Just as you come though the volcano cliff-lined highway – bam you have this wide expanse and amazing view. If you don't quickly look to the right you'll miss Makapu'u, and you'd be missing something indeed. This is next to the world famous "Halona Cove" which was the location for filming the famous beach scene in the movie "From Here to Eternity".
Waves? Makapu'u is one of the ultimate surfing and bodyboarding spots in the islands, and the world. Waves can break for well over 100 meters, and epic 250 meter rides are possible if the waves are strong, big, and fast. The wave crest sometimes doesn't break until it hits the shallows all the way where beach meets sand. The perfect conditions sometimes exist for riding excellent waves at this beach. As I write this, I have a twisting feeling in my stomach as I think of some of the awesome bodyboarding sessions I've had at this epic beach.
Kids? Makapu'u beach is not highly recommended for those that are not good swimmers, or children on most days. The currents can be strong, the shore-breaks – wicked, and the waves big. There is a coral reef and rocks on the the north side of the beach that must be avoided. The water drops off quickly to adult chest height – again, not ideal for most kids.
Makapu'u Beach encompasses about 38 acres and the good sandy beach is about 150 yards long and sloped. It has deep sand, and most people on the beach are tourists like you. Many in the water will be locals that love the waves there and have been riding since they were kids (keiki).
What Can You Do at Makapu'u?
Many people bodysurf, some surf, some bodyboard, some just swim and have fun in the waves. The shore-break isn't always dangerous, often times it is mild and can be fun for most members of the family. Everyone takes photos though, it is a very picturesque Oahu location and you won't be able to help pulling out your camera and firing off some shots. The steep cliffs of Makapu'u plunge into the right side of the bay and the left side is open, leading to an amazing view of two islands, Manana (Rabbit Island), and Kaohikaipu.
Makapu'u is also a favorite place for residents and visitors to view humpback whales as they come to Hawaii every winter to spawn before traveling back up in the northern pacific to have their offspring. Best times to see whales is between December and March.
Occasionally sharks are sighted at this location. There have been no attacks that I can find in a search of news online. I have been there scores of times and never seen a shark there or talked to anyone that had. Here's one of our top visited pages on this site – Hawaii Sharks.
This is not a good location for snorkeling because the water is deep, the cliffs block out much of the light, and there are a lot of bodyboarders if the waves are ridable. Hanauma Bay is a good place to go snorkeling on the island of Oahu.
Makapu'u Point Lighthouse
A 46 foot high beacon to help ships find their way in the coral filled Pacific near Oahu. This US Coast Guard lighthouse was built and functioning since 1909. In 1974 the lighthouse became automated and didn't require anyone to manually take care of it. The lighthouse is filled with a 12 foot high French fresnel hyper-radial lens, the largest lens still in use in the USA. It can magnify the illumination of a 1,000 watt 120 volt light bulb enormously – allowing ships to see it miles out to see on clear nights.
Hiking up to the lighthouse from Kalanianaole highway is a fun trip, the endpoint being the Makapu'u lighthouse. The lighthouse itself is restricted from access by locked gates. The road winding its way up the Makapu'u cliffs is paved and open to pedestrians, not vehicles. The lighthouse trail is about 1 3/4 miles in length to reach the top. Molokai and Lanai can usually be seen from this vantage point, with the occasional bonus in clear air of seeing Maui just past them. During the months of November through April you may catch site of the humpback whales that visit Hawaii each Winter to mate. At last check there was a big binoculars set to look through at the end of the trail by the lighthouse. If you walk down a ways you can see a blowhole that is pretty strong on good days.
Fishing from the cliffs near the lighthouse is some of the best on Oahu. Night time brings deep sea fishermen to the cliffs to throw octopus out on heavy line to try for the elusive (and big, over 100 pounds!) Ulua. These are Jack Crevalle type fish that are very strong and fast and provide a lot of fun in catching.
Exploring the Makapu'u Tidepools
Tidepools are rough lava spots that get covered over by incoming waves during the high tides and are left exposed during low tide. This presents a great opportunity for walking around on them (in sports sandals or better, sports shoes) and exploring the wildlife. Various fish, crabs, opihi, and other wildlife can be found in the small pools of water that get trapped on the lava. Watch for the mudfish – the jumping fish that crawl around and jump from tidepool to tidepool!
Manana Island
There are two islands just off Makapu'u. The first, Manana Island, is comprised of 64 acres. It resembles a rabbits head in shape and so was nicknamed Rabbit Island. A rancher once released rabbits there and they populated the island profusely. Currently the island is a protected bird sanctuary. It is illegal to set foot on the island without permission from the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources.
The second beautiful island off the coast is named Kaohikaipu. It's a low island, also the result of volcanic activity, like every island in the Hawaiian island chain. Kaohikaipu is also a protected bird sanctuary by the State of Hawaii.
Hang Gliding
Makapu'u is a world-class hang gliding spot and on days with just the right amount of wind you'll be treated to many of them launching off the cliffs behind Makapu'u Beach park.
Sea Life Park
A large Sea World type facility with aquariums and shows to educate the public about Hawaiian wildlife. It's set on the mauka (mountain) side of the highway.
Makai Pier
A very long pier juts out into the Pacific ocean which was built by the State government of Hawaii to help scientists do marine research. Makai pier has some marine engineering companies and the Hawaii Underwater Research Laboratory (HURL). Occasionally, and incredibly, some companies located on the pier advertise in Craigslist Honolulu for some technology jobs that must be some of the greatest locations to work in the entire world. Keep an eye out for them if you want to live and work in Hawaii and know computers or are a marine biologist.
- Theft occurs a lot here in the parking lot area as well as directly from the area you lay your towels down. Don't attempt to hide a purse or camera, just don't leave them. Do not leave anything of value in your vehicle because there are many "smash & grabs" and you'll end up paying for your rental car window to get fixed, and maybe the locks replaced also. Usually it's best to keep your windows half rolled down so a thief could open the door and see there's nothing in your car to steal. That's locals style anyway. Saves buying windows all the time!
- Don't leave any child unattended in the water. Waves on Oahu are not predictable, except that there are regularly larger rogue waves that surprise many people – in the water and out. Locals are always watching the water for the bigger rogue waves that could catch them unaware… you should too! The water at Makapu'u is deep, the undercurrent is sometimes strong, and the shore breaking waves can be 5+ feet high and dangerous to anyone in the water.
Makapu'u Beach Features:
- Open during daylight hours, I would NOT go at night to the beach.
- Lifeguards – though not always on duty. Ditto that for security in the parking area.
- Deep sand ideal for laying out. Less windblown sand like Sandy Beach because the hill behind, and the cliff beside Makapu'u Beach protects the beach from most of the wind.
- Picnic area with tables and benches
- Public BBQ grills
- Restrooms
- Freshwater Showers
- Telephones
- Free parking – maybe 40 spots available
- Makapu'u trail leading to the Makapu'u Lighthouse is close by, though you'll probably choose to drive down to it instead of walk the sometimes dangerous hairpin turn highway through the lava.
- Tidepools to explore
- Good fishing at night on the cliffs by the lighthouse trail for Ulua.

To the Congress of the United States:
I am pleased to submit to the Congress the fourth Annual Science and Technology Report as
required under the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization, and Priorities Act of
1976. This is the first such report of my Administration.
Science and technology are essential to the accomplishment of the goals of this Administration
and the needs of the American people for jobs, enhanced national security, increased international
competitiveness, and better health and quality of life. The continued advancement of both
theoretical and applied scientific knowledge is of vital importance to continued human progress
and the resolution of the complex problems facing the world in the years ahead.
This Report emphasizes the important role of the Federal government in supporting our scientific
enterprise. But it also emphasizes that some things can best be done by the private sector. I
believe that together we will be able to harness science and technology to meet the needs and
aspirations of all our people.
Ronald Reagan
The White House,
April 21, 1982.

it's really great, I think it'd make a nice ad or cover of a magazine for cooking. Keep up doing the series, your ideas amaze me!:)
Jun 19th, 2013 ReplyOh, thank you very much. I had a similar idea. I read a menu card which was very boring made and I thought there are so many possibilities to create an eye-catching menu card. So I "played" a little bit with the idea and I'm working on the mext ones. I think it will be 5 or 6 different motifs :-). Thank you for your motivation, much appreciate.
